Another benefit? They are great to lounge in during those hot summer months. Look to Cameron Diaz in Charlie’s Angels (2000), who does a rise-and-shine, cheek-shaking dance in underwear boasting a Spiderman cartoon on the butt.There’s also Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation (2003), who sports a powder-pink rendition; and in Crossroads(2002), Britney Spears breaks it down in her room while wearing a knotted spaghetti-strap tank, a cowboy hat, and a pair of thick-banded undies. More recently, no less a bombshell than Emily Ratajkowski proved full-coverage culottes can be provocative when layered under something sheer, as she demonstrated at her 27th birthday celebration in New York.
